I have had a “professional” presence on Twitter for a long time. I started our engineering program Twitter and my own back in 2008 (or 9). At the time, it didn’t do much because the people I was trying to reach were not there. In 2017, I got more serious about using Twitter professionally and consistently. The best thing I have done is to become involved in Twitter chats on a regular basis. I have been very consistently participating in #AppleEDUChat on Tuesday nights. From time-to-time, I also check in with a couple other’s at school. These chats have helped me to grow professionally and expand my teaching practice. I can see a difference in both my classroom and self.
Prior to the Twitter chats, I was not sure that I wanted to do more than teach in my same lab until retirement. The chats opened up new doors and expanded my vision. I realized that I did want to seek out other opportunities. This class ties in with that. I started in the DLL program to be able to take on new leadership opportunities. All of the things I have done in this course tie in with the path I have been on. I like to share with others, not because I know more than anyone, but because we all have things to contribute. With that mindset, we can all grow together and make a difference. The last couple of years have been a monumental shift in my professional journey.
